Networking and Communication Trends

 Convergence: Technological convergence is a term that describes bringing


previously unrelated technologies together, often in a single device.

 Broadband: a high-capacity transmission technique using a wide range


of frequencies, which enables a large number of messages to
be communicated simultaneously.

 Broadband wireless

Computer Network

 Two or more connected computers


 Major components in simple network
o Client and server computers
o Network interfaces (NICs)
o Connection medium
o Network operating system (NOS)
o Hubs, switches, routers
 Software-defined networking (SDN)

Networks In Large Companies

Corporate Network Infrastructure


What are the principal components of telecommunications networks and key
networking technologies?
Key Digital Networking Technologies

 Client/server computing

o Distributed computing model


o Clients linked through network controlled by network server computer
o Server sets rules of communication for network and provides every client with an address
so others can find it on the network
o Has largely replaced centralized mainframe computing
o The Internet: largest implementation of client/server computing
What are the principal components of telecommunications networks and key
networking technologies?
Key Digital Networking Technologies

 Packet switching

o Method of slicing digital messages into parcels (packets), sending packets along different
communication paths as they become available, and then reassembling packets at
destination
o Previous circuit-switched networks required assembly of complete point-to-point circuit
o Packet switching more efficient use of network’s communications capacity

 TCP/IP and connectivity


o Protocols: rules that govern transmission of information between two points
o Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
-Common worldwide standard that is basis for the Internet
o Department of Defense reference model for TCP/IP
- Four layers (Application layer; Transport layer; Internet layer; Network interface
layer)
